Chef Salad


There really isn't a recipe for chef salad. We just throw things together, but here is a list of some of the things that we like.

Lettuce
Tomato
cheese chunks
ham, turkey or chicken
tomato
carrot
boiled egg
toasted walnuts
kidney beans or balck beans
avacado
corn
red onion

chicken salad

2 cups diced chicken- i use canned chicken
2 cups diced celery
1/4 minced green onion
2/3 cup miracle whip- add 1 tsp sugar and 1 tsp vinegar

Mix. You can refrigerate overnight- this will cause the celery to not be so crunchy if that is how you like it.
